Without limitation to the foregoing, ORGiD will pay all damages and amounts finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed upon in settlement (as outlined in Section 9.3 below) and any government fines and penalties assessed against the Customer in any such Claims.
9.2 Customer Indemnity. The Customer will, at its expense, indemnify, defend and hold harmless ORGiD and its Members and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and Representatives (collectively "ORGiD Indemnified Parties") from and against any reasonable Claims to the extent arising out of or alleging of any of the following: (a) infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Proprietary Rights by Service which the Customer permitted to be used by ORGiD under this Agreement; and (b) any unauthorised or unlawful receipt, processing, transmission or storage of Customer Data by ORGiD in the performance of its obligations as permitted under this Agreement resulting from breach of the Customer's obligations under Section 7.2.2, Section 7.6.2 or Section 5.5(save to the extent an act or omission of ORGiD causes such breach). The Customer will pay all costs, damages and amounts finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed upon in settlement (as outlined in Section 9.3 below) and any government fines and penalties assessed against ORGiD in any such Claims.
9.3 Process. Each Party seeking indemnification under this Section 9 (each, an "Indemnified Party" and collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") will give the other Party (the "Indemnifying Party") prompt notice of each Claim for which it seeks indemnification, provided that failure or delay in providing such notice will not release the Indemnifying Party from any obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Parties will give the Indemnifying Party their reasonable cooperation in the defense of each Claim for which indemnity is sought, at its request and expense. The Indemnifying Party will inform the Indemnified Parties of the status of each Claim. An Indemnified Party may participate in the defense of a Claim at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will control the defence or settlement of the Claim, provided that the Indemnifying Party, without the Indemnified Parties' prior written consent, will not enter into any settlement that (i) includes any admission of guilt or wrongdoing by any Indemnified Party; (ii) imposes any financial obligations on any Indemnified Party that Indemnified Party is not obligated to pay under this Section 9; (iii) imposes any non-monetary obligations on any Indemnified Party; and (iv) does not include a complete and unconditional release of any Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party will ensure that any settlement it enters for any Claim is confidential, except where not permitted by Applicable Law.
9.4 Infringement Remedy. In addition to ORGiD's obligations under Section 9.1, if the Product or other Licensed Product is held, or in ORGiD's opinion is likely to be held, to infringe, misappropriate or violate any Proprietary Rights, or, if based on any claimed infringement, misappropriation or violation of Proprietary Rights, an injunction is obtained, or in ORGiD's opinion an injunction is likely to be obtained, that would prohibit or interfere with the Customer's use of the Licensed Product under this Agreement, then ORGiD will at its option and expense either: (a) procure for the Customer the right to continue using the affected Licensed Product in accordance with the license granted under this Agreement; or (b) modify or replace the affected Licensed Product so that the modified or replacement Licensed Product are reasonably comparable in functionality, interoperability with other software and systems, and levels of security and performance and do not infringe, misappropriate or violate any third-party Proprietary Rights. If, in such circumstances, ORGiD cannot accomplish any of the foregoing actions on a commercially reasonable basis, ORGiD will notify the Customer, and either Party may terminate the Subscription and this Agreement, in which case ORGiD will refund to the Customer any fees prepaid to ORGiD by the Customer prorated for the unused portion of the Subscription. For clarity, ORGiD's indemnification and defence obligations under this Section include infringement Claims based on the use of the Licensed Product by Customer Indemnified Parties following an initial infringement Claim, except that if ORGiD responds to an infringement Claim by accomplishing the solution in (b), ORGiD will have no obligation to defend and indemnify the Customer for infringement Claims arising from the Customer's use after giving notice to the Customer of the accomplishment of (b) of the infringing Licensed Product for which ORGiD provided modified or replacement Licensed Product and a reasonable time to implement the modified or replacement Licensed Product.
9.5 Security Breach Remedy. In addition to ORGiD's obligations under Section 9.1, in the event of any Security Incident resulting solely from breach of ORGiD's obligations under this Agreement or the violation by ORGiD of Data Protection Laws absent the instruction by the Customer, ORGiD will pay the applicable government fines and penalties and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs directly incurred by the Customer, for (a) investigating and responding to the Security Incident; (b) providing notification to affected individuals, applicable government and relevant industry regulatory agencies required by Law; (c) providing credit monitoring and/or identity theft services to affected individuals required by Law; and (d) applicable mitigation or remediation costs required by regulatory agencies to be undertaken within the Licensed Product as the result of such Security Incident.
9.6 Limitations.
9.6.1 ORGiD will have no liability or obligation under this Section 9 concerning any infringement Claim to the extent solely attributable to any: (a) modifications to the Licensed Product not performed or on behalf of ORGiD or its Personnel; (b) use of the Product by the Customer in combination with third-party products, services, equipment, content, code, or software not provided by ORGiD at the instruction of the Customer where the alleged violation, infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but solely for such combination at the instruction of the Customer; (c) use of the Licensed Product by the Customer in breach of this Agreement; or (d) acts or omissions of the indemnified Party, including willful patent infringement.
9.6.2 The Customer will have no liability or obligation under this Section 9 concerning any infringement Claim to the extent solely attributable to any: (a) modifications to the Customer Materials or Customer Data not provided or authorised by the Customer or its Personnel; or (b) use of the Customer Materials or Customer Data by ORGiD that is not permitted under this Agreement.
